Ohhh nooo!! It looks like all fingers will be aborted. That is the worst!! I am so sorry! Ii have really researched this condition and my opinion is it is caused by lack of fertilizer/water during the plants cycle. Especially the first half of its life! Mostly potassium. Banana leaves and pstem contains 40% potassium. Actual fingers are made of 60% potassium!! That's a lot. And it's hard to find organic potassium sources without using burnt ashes. Which can be very dangerous! Buy a bag of Murate of Potash! It's 0-0-60. Very very strong stuff. I never use it on small or potted plants! Start using small amounts and spread it all around the plant. About a 2' circle around the pstem. Avoid piles. Next water it in well!!

You may need nitrogen also. If so you may want to buy a good granular type with a ratio close to 10-0-20 as you can get. Mixing 10-10-10 with the MOP 0-0-60. There are calculators online to figure how much to mix to equal way you need! For fruit production I use the same as the professional plantations use. Granular!!

Good luck!!
Next time I hope you get a huge bunch!!

Burnt ashes can be very dangerous? Why?
I've been putting burnt ashes around my Dw. Orinoco which is fruiting.

Hmm, it sure was watered thoroughly throughout it's lifespan. And it's been fertilized pretty regularly.
Well there'e always another one coming up behind
